Seriously now, that is a very tidy zed, funny how once upon a time it was blue, but yellow must be the most popular now. Nice badges too.

Thanks mate,
She was looking very tired when I first got her, only had her just over 2 months and spent more than I wish to declare on her. But she's looking Beautiful now, and all mechanical issues have be sorted, new gearbox, new clutch, new slave and master cylinders, new multiple layer head gasket, 2x new drive shafts, new cam belt/tentioners and water pump, updated oil feeds and sills ect, updated valve stems, port and polished head, new flexi, new cat, new discs and pads all round, refurbished the calipers, new rads, new thermostats, new alternator, new battery, 4x new tyres, piper exhaust, pipercross induction kit, remapped ecu to make full advantage of V-power nitro plus 99 Ron fuel, new inlet manifold and throttle body, new Sony Bluetooth head unit, new vibe font components, vibe 6x9's, 12" 1600watt vibe sub, 5% limo tints, new badges front and rear and treated the bodywork to a full clay bar and detail to get the paint shiny again lol.
Not gonna say how much I've spent on her but she was worth every penny, I wouldn't want any other car to be honest.

Future plans are:
Painting wheels,
Full body respray,
Undercarage/chassis treated,
Will be drawing up plans to remove the engine and fit civic type r k20 engine and box, (wont be pulling out old unit until she gives up lol)
Fully retrim interiour,
DVD headrests for the kids then she might be finished we will have to see haha

In all fairness ill never sell her. She's being kept as a daily driver for as long as I can keep her on the road. Does everything I need her to do and eventually she'll looks like she's just come out the factory but with some tasteful mods.
I.E carbon fibered up in all the right places.
Got a friend in OZ who makes custom carbon fibre bits. So will give him specs ect and have them built.

I'm hopin the car fund kitty will be topped up by April next year. But fingers crossed and might be done sooner.
The carbon fiber bits will be done real soon, gotta take all the bits off that I want done and send over the measurements.
He's advised me that will take around 2 to 3 weeks to have them all fabricated them shipping time is around 10 to 15 days.
Will post pics once all done and dusted ;)

Dont want to take work from your mate, but I think Dazzer, Locking Vinyl, Site Trader on here does Carbon Wrapping.

Dont know any prices, but would be a quicker delivery!!

Great looking (yellow )zs there looks mint credit to you bring on the yellow ones :smile1:

Yeah I thought about doing vinyl but its not the real deal.
I have the attitude of, if ur gonna do something do it to the best you can, or there's not much point in doin it at all.
Hence why I have spend sooo man hours on my car and spent alot too.

Vinyl is a very good finish and I can't knock it, but when I look at it whe sitting in my car I'd think to myself "tony, It looks great, but it ain't carbon it's plastic" lol

peterzs
10-07-13, 05:29 PM
Fair enough.

TonyK7ng
10-07-13, 05:41 PM
But I may get some vinyl from him just to test the water, hey u never know, might look better than all the crap from eBay lol
